Celtics vs. Lakers Odds & Betting Predictions - January 24, 2025

The Lakers host the Celtics today with the Celtics playing their second game in as many days. The Celtics had a number of players sit yesterday against the Clippers so we will see if they’re available for tonight’s contest. One player I’m targeting is LeBron James. LeBron and AD have continued to leak that they want management to do more to bolster this team as they try to contend for a title. What better way to show they are a win-now contender than by taking one against the reigning champs during Rivalry Week? LeBron gets up for various narratives, and one stat that is very effort based is rebounds. His line is set at 6.5, a number he’s hit in three straight against Boston and in 55% of games this year while averaging 7.5 per game. The Celtics actually allow the ninth-most rebounds per game to their opponents, and I expect LeBron to secure at least 7.
